The Bridge

The Bridge has been awarded in the Monovisions Black and White Photography Awards 2023  – Architecture Category.

Graphics, geometrical shapes, and patterns are present in nature and in all our surroundings. They have a strong effect on what we find visually appealing and artistic.

I search for visions that are elegant and aesthetically pleasing to the eye in every part of my life, and I would like to present to you my interpretation of such visions in this photo.

The Bridge, the photo of the third suspension bridge of Istanbul, a modern architectural structure, was inspired by displaying balance and harmony along with a sense of rhythm and symmetry formed by graphics and patterns we see all around us in our daily lives.

The third suspension bridge of Istanbul connects Europe and Asia is located at the northern end of Istanbul, where the Bosphorus meets the Black Sea. The photo was captured from an unusual and rarely photographed angle. The mild fog on top of the bridge formed a mystic atmosphere. The curves of the light trails introduce a life element to the frame and a complementary form to the triangular pillars of the bridge.
